This richly illustrated book presents the pediatric applications of PET/CT in the full range of scenarios frequently encountered in a professional setting. It opens with a thorough introduction covering the fundamental science and the clinical basis for use of PET/CT in this age group. Pitfalls and artifacts are examined, and normal variations and benign findings are carefully described. Each subsequent chapter addresses the role of PET/CT with different radiopharmaceuticals in the evaluation a…

Abstract: This richly illustrated book presents the pediatric applications of PET/CT in the full range of scenarios frequently encountered in a professional setting. It opens with a thorough introduction covering the fundamental science and the clinical basis for use of PET/CT in this age group. Pitfalls and artifacts are examined, and normal variations and benign findings are carefully described. Each subsequent chapter addresses the role of PET/CT with different radiopharmaceuticals in the evaluation and management of a specific disease. The full range of oncological diseases is covered, including the rare ones. Succinct descriptions of clinical cases are included and, when appropriate, comparisons are made with other modalities. In addition, the role of PET/CT in biopsy guidance and in radiation therapy planning is explained.

Contents: Basic science and practical issues -- Oncology -- Other tumors -- Neurology -- Infection and inflammation -- Other applications.

Generally CT images associated to a PET scan are acquired in a low-dose modality and therefore turn out to be suboptimal for CT image interpretation. Sometimes a comparison with a full-resolution and contrast- enhanced CT atlas may be difficult. Low-dose CT slices are thicker than diagnostic CT and poorer in anatomical details, and this affects the accuracy in recognizing both anatomical structures and pathological findings. This atlas provides a “normal anatomy” chapter that is built on low-do…

Abstract: Generally CT images associated to a PET scan are acquired in a low-dose modality and therefore turn out to be suboptimal for CT image interpretation. Sometimes a comparison with a full-resolution and contrast- enhanced CT atlas may be difficult. Low-dose CT slices are thicker than diagnostic CT and poorer in anatomical details, and this affects the accuracy in recognizing both anatomical structures and pathological findings. This atlas provides a “normal anatomy” chapter that is built on low-dose CT images from PET/CT standard acquisition, identifying all the relevant anatomical structures detectable without contrast media administration that can help in accurately describing all FDG-positive fi ndings extension. Other chapters (thorax, abdomen, pelvis, musculoskeletal system) present cases with common and uncommon FDG-negative anatomical abnormalities. All the images can be directly compared to the CT images acquired on standard PET/CT.--Preface.
